Enes Kanter Freedom criticizes Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve and calls for her to step down after Reeve’s comments about transgender athletes. The criticism centers on Reeve’s view that some advocates for women’s sports “don’t want transgender people to exist,” according to reporting cited by both outlets.
Yahoo Sports and Fox News describe Kanter Freedom’s reaction as strongly negative, saying he considers Reeve unfit for her role. The two accounts present the dispute as part of a continuing debate over how transgender athletes should be treated in women’s sports, with Kanter Freedom and Reeve taking opposing positions. Neither outlet, in the provided excerpts, details any disciplinary action or formal response from the team or league regarding Reeve’s remarks.
While the articles share the focus on the exchange between Kanter Freedom and Reeve, Yahoo Sports also situates the controversy alongside a separate Lynx game recap, noting the Lynx’s 86–66 win over the Indiana Fever to conclude the 2026 WNBA season.
